SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention concerns new anthraquinone dyestuffs, processes for the production thereof and their use for the dyeing and printing of fibres containing polypeptide groups. The invention also concerns the industrial products produced by the use of these new dyestuffs.

It has been found that valuable new anthraquinone dyestuffs are obtained of the formula wherein A represents an m-valent radical of an anthraquinone dyestuif,

B represents a divalent aromatic radical bound to the anthraquinone nucleus by a hetero atom from the group of N, O and S atoms,

X represents the acyl radical of an aromatic monocarboxylic acid, and

m and n represent low whole numbers,

if an anthraquinone compound, which contains at least one aromatic radical bound to the anthraquinone nucleus by way of a hetero atom from the group of N, O and S atoms and which has at least one replaceable hydrogen atom in the nucleus of the said aromatic radical, is treated with the N-methylol compound of an aromatic mono.- carboxylic acid amide or with a functional derivative thereof which reacts like this methylol compound until at least one XNHCH radical is introduced and the reaction product, if necessary, is sulphonated.

The new anthraquinone dyestuffs can also contain more aroylamidomethyl groups as defined. This is the case, for example, on using starting products in which the anthraquinone nucleus is substituted by further conden- 3,519,656 Patented July 7, 1970 ice sable aromatic radicals. However, more of such aroylamidomethyl groups can be found to a single substituent if the latter is only mononuclear; they can also be bound to a single nucleus. The number of such groups which are characteristic of the new dyestuffs which are introduced into the anthraquinone compound on reaction with the methylol compound depends in the first place on the nature of the aromatic radicals bound at the anthraquinone nucleus. However, in many cases by the choice of suitable reaction conditions, the number of aroylamidomethyl groups to be introduced can also be influenced or even determined. It is thus often possible to introduce the number of such groups which is most favourable for the properties of the end products. Anthraquinone compounds according to the invention having one aroylamidomethyl group per aromatic radical are particularly valuable dye'stufis.

. The new anthraquinone dyestuffs which are useful as polyarnide dyes contain at least one sulphonic acid group. This water solubilising substituent is already present advantageously in the anthraquinone compound used as reaction component. However, this group or other such groups can often be introduced in a simple manner either during or after the condensation reaction by sulphonation. In general, the presence of more than three sulphonic acid groups in the end product is not desirable.

The anthraquinone compounds used in the present process as starting products which contain at least one aromatic radical bound to the anthraquinone nucleus by a nitrogen, oxygen or sulphor atom should be of the series of the simple anthraquinonyl compounds. As such are utilised in particular the anthraquinonyl-a,a'-diamino, u-aminoanthraquinonyl-oU-imino, 0 diaminoanthraquinonyl-fi-oxy and ot,ot' diaminoanthraquinonyl-;3,B'- dioxy compounds. Particularly easily accessible and therefore preferred starting products used according to the invention are, for example, 1 amino-Z-sulphoanthraquinonyl-4-aminoaryl-, 1-aminoor l-alkylamino-anthraquinonyl-4-aminoaryl, anthraquinonyl 1,4- or 1,5-diaminoaryl, 1,4-diaminoanthraquinonyl 2 oxyaryl or -2-thioary1 or -2,3-dioxyaryl or -2,3-dithioaryl and 1- amino-4-arylaminoanthraquinonyl-Z-oxyaryl compounds. The anthraquinone nuclei themselves can also be still further substituted, for example, by halogen, particularly by chlorine or bromine, and also by methyl, hydroxyl and sulphonic acid groups.

Advantageously the aromatic radicals bound to the anthraquinone nuclei by N, O or S atoms are of the isocyclic series. Particularly, they are radicals of the bcn-. zene series, thus, for example, phenyl, diphenyl, styryl, diphenylether, diphenylthioether, diphenylamine, benzoylaminophenyl and benz'ylphenyl radicals. The aromatic radicals can contain the substituents usual in anthraquinone dyestuffs, thus, chiefly alykl groups such as, e.g. methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl and amyl groups; or cycloalkyl groups such as, (eg. the cycohexyl group; then halogens such as chlorine, bromine and fluorine; also alkoxy groupssuch as, e.g. methoxy, ethoxy and butoxy groups; then also nitro, acid amide, acid ester, sulphonic acid, alkylsulphonyl, alkylamino, and acylamino groups. The condition is that the arylamino or aryloxy or arylthio groups in the aryl radical contain at least one replaceable hydrogen atom in order to be able to react with the other reaction component, i.e. with the N-methylol compound of the aryl carboxylic acid amide. The more nucleophilic the aryl radical is under the reaction conditions, the easier is the condensation with the methylol compound. Good yields and uniform condensation products are thus obtained principally with those anthraquinone compounds which contain only nucleophilically substituted arylamino or aryloxy or arylthio groups.

From the aforesaid it can be seen that the anthra quinone compounds used as starting products, the aryl substituents should, it possible, be of the benzene series; in addition they should be bound advantageously by way of an imino group at an a-position of the anthraquinone nucleus and should be substituted, advantageously, only by nucleophilic groups.

The aroyl-N-met'hlolamides used as second reaction component in the process according to the invention are obtained by adding formaldehyde to the corresponding aromatic monocarboxylic acid amides in the presence of basic condensing agents such as, e.g. potassium carbonate, or in the presence of mineral acid also, in this case under mild conditions. Advantageously the known and easily accessible primary amides of monoor poly-nuclear monocarboxylic acids, e.g. those of the benzene, naphthalene, diphenyl, diphenylether, diphenylamine and diphenylketone monocarboxylic acids are used as aromatic monocarboxylic acid amides. Also mixtures of carboxylic acid amides can be used, for example, the amides of mixtures of aromatic monocarboxylic acids obtained by oxidising a mixture of benzene homologues or a mixture of halogenated toluenes or also those obtained by chlorinating benzoyl chloride. However, in the present process chiefly the N-methylol compounds of benzene monocarboxylic acid amides are used. The benzene nuclei can contain the substituents usual in anthraquinone dyestuffs, in particular those mentioned above. N-methylolbenzamide and its halogenated, in particular chlorinated, derivatives are the preferred reaction components both in view of their easier accessibility and also in view of the good dyeing properties of the end products obtained therefrom.

The anthraquinone compounds are condensed with the methylol compounds in the presence of acid condensing agents or of agents which split oif water and react like acid condensing agents. As such, principally concentrated hydrochloric acid, zinc chloride, phosphorus pentoxide, acetic acid anhydride, viscous phosphoric acid and oleum are used. However, the preferred condensing agent is concentrated or anhydrous sulphuric acid as generally it can serve simultaneously as solvent for the reaction components. The reaction temperature can vary between wide limits and depends chiefly on the condensing agent used. In concentrated sulphuric acid the reaction generally proceeds quickly and completely at room temperature. In some cases, a raised temperature is necessary, for example 4080, particularly when a number of aroylamidomethyl groups are to be introduced. This, however, is under the proviso that the reaction components are not decomposed under these conditions and that a possible sulphonation of the reaction product is not undesirable. The final reaction products are precipitated by pouring the sulphuric acid solutions or suspensions into ice water and then isolating in the usual way.

Instead of the aryl carboxylic acid-N-methylolamides, also reactive functional derivatives of these methylol compounds can be used provided they react in the same way. For example, the esters obtained by treating the methylol compounds with inorganic or organic acids or acid halides or anhydrides, or also the di-(aroylamidomethyl)-ethers obtained by self-condensation in the presence of, e.g. phosphorus oxychloride can be used. However, as these functional derivatives have generally to be produced from the corresponding methylol compounds, the first process is altogether preferred. It is possible, though, in single cases in which unsatisfactory results are obtained with the methylol compounds, to attain the goal with these derivatives, particularly with the N-chloromethylarnides. In some cases, the process according to the invention can be simplified with good results by reacting in one vessel a mixture of the dyestutf with formaldehyde or a polymer thereof and with the aroylamide instead of starting with the completely form d methylol compounds of the amides.

A modified process for the production of dyestuffs according to the invention consists in forming the anthraquinone compounds from components of which at least one already contains at least one aroylamidomethyl group of the formula XNHCH This is done by reacting an anthraquinone compound and an aromatic compound each of which contains a reactive substituent, in which reaction the components are condensed. The aromatic compound used in this reaction is one which already contains at least one aroylamidomethyl group.

Reactive substituents which react while condensing are, for. example, on the one hand the amino and hydroxyl groups and on the other, for example the carboxylic acid or sulphonic acid halide groups or mobile, nuclearly bound halogen. For example, 1-amino-4-bromoanthraquinone-Z-sulphonic acid is condensed by methods known per so with an arylamine to form 1-amino-4-arylaminoanthraquinone-2-sulphonic acid, choosing as arylamine an aromatic amine which already contains at least one benzene monocarboxylic acid amidomethyl group which is possibly further substituted in the benzene nucleus.

The possibility of introducing further sulphonic acid groups into the reaction products after the amidomethylation has already been referred to above. It is also possible, however, to introduce other substituents into the amidomethylation products subsequently; in particular they can be subsequently brominated.

The anthraquinone dyestuffs produced according to the invention, in particular those which contain not more than two acid water solubilising groups, are suitable for the dyeing and printing of fibres containing polypeptide groups such as, e.g. leather, silk, superpolyamide and superpolyurethane fibres and, in particular, wool. From an acid aqueous bath, the dyestuffs draw very evenly onto these materials. Even in weakly acid to neutral solution, many of them have a high afiinity to the nitrogenous fibres mentioned and thus have very good drawing power. The dyeings so obtained, in particular the wool dyeings, are very level and wet fast, e.g., they have good fastness to washing and milling, also in an alkaline medium. In 1addition, the dyeings often have very good fastness to ight.

Particularly valuable, principally in View of their shades and very good fastness properties, are those dyestuffs according to the invention which correspond to the general formula A represents a member selected from the group consisting of anthraquinonyl-a,a' di imino, u,ot'-diaminoanthraquinonyl-B,,8-dioxy and a-aminoanthraquinonyl-oK-imino-fl-oxy radicals, each radical Y p-l (11) wherein being attached to imino-N or oxy-O atoms of A,
